Sorry, no stars for the Australian entry. Les keufs are not necessarily female. 
Perhaps you're confusing them with les meufs.

"F the (female) cops"  I'd probably substitute "bitches" for a more
robust translation!
Where can I stick my Gold Eurostars?

John in Brisbane

That's a lovely carving, nicely photographed.

I'm just back from a trip to France. One of the things I photographed was a
graffito which invokes Nike, albeit in crude French. It said 'Nike les
keufs!'. Twelve gold eurostars for the first correct English translation.

Since Nike means "Victory" in Greek, it could be Victory of (or over) the
Cops.

Or, if they mean the shoe, it could mean "Kick the cops in the arse."

PESO: Nike of Epheses

[Daniel J. Matyola]

One of the many treasures of Ephesus is this relief carving of Nike, the
winged goddess victory. She holds a wreath of laurel leaves, an emblem of
victory, in her left hand, and a stalk of wheat in her right hand and is
shown flying. This work dates from the Roman period, and was discovered
among the ruins on the Square of Domitian.
